Abstract

The invention relates to the sulfamoyl sulfonate prodrugs of general formula (I), to a method for producing them, to pharmaceutical compositions containing the same and to their use for producing orally available drugs. The compounds according to the invention bind to carboanhydrases and inhibit these enzymes.

Description

Sulfamoyl Sulfonate Prodrugs The invention relates to sulfamoyl sulfonate prodrugs of general formula I, //O
X ~=0 js~ NH 2 p ~\
O
Drug ; Gruppe Z
[Group Z] (I), a process for the production of these prodrugs, pharmaceutical compositions that contain these compounds, and their use for the production of orally available pharmaceutical agents.
From WO 01/91797, steroidal compounds that are bonded via an -S02NR1R2 group to erythrocytes and that accumulate there are known. The concentration ratio of the compounds between erythrocytes and plasma is 10-1000:1, preferably 30-1000:1, so that a depot formation in the erythrocytes can be mentioned. Because of the strong binding of the compounds to the erythrocytes, metabolization is avoided during passage through the liver.
Disadvantageously, no therapy-relevant active ingredient levels are given despite a reduced metabolization with the indicated dosages. Reasons for this can be sought in excessive binding to erythrocytes, an enzyme-induced cleavage and in low solubilities.

It is the object of the invention to provide new prodrugs that are orally available and that, in comparison to the prior art, ensure a therapy-relevant active ingredient level even at a low dosage.

This object is achieved by sulfamoyl sulfonate prodrugs of general formula (I), in which a sulfamoyl radical is bonded to the drug that is to be released via a spacer X by means of a sulfonate bond.
Sulfamoyl sulfonate prodrugs of general formula (I) are X S=0 S NHZ
p~ \0 Drug Gruppe Z
[Group Z] (I), in which X is a C1_12-alkanediyl-, a CPFZp group where p= 1-5, a C3_g-cycloalkanediyl-, an arylene-, a heteroalkanediyl-, a C1.4-alkanediylaryl-, a C1_4-alkanediyl-C3_8-cycloalkyl- or a C3_8-cycloalkanediyl-C1_4-alkyl group, and Drug is a pharmaceutical active ingredient that can form a sulfonate via an OH
group, such as steroids, anti-malaria agents, nucleosides, or isoflavonoids, which can optionally be substituted.

The sulfamoyl sulfonate compounds according to the invention bond to erythrocytes, are readily water-soluble and are hydrolytically cleaved without assistance from enzymes.
For the purpose of this invention, "C1_12-alkanediyl group" is defined as a double-bonded, branched or straight-chain alkylene radical with up to 12 carbon atoms that optionally can be substituted with, e.g., halogen atoms, hydroxy groups, or nitrile groups. As examples, a methane-l,l-diyl-, ethane-1,2-diyl, propane-1,3-diyl-, butane-l,4-diyl-, pentane-1,5-diyl-; hexane-1,6-diyl-, octane-l,8-diyl-, and undecane-1,11-diyl group can be mentioned.
For the purpose of this invention, CPF2P group with p = 1-5 is defined as a branched or straight-chain perfluorinated alkyl radical with up to 5 carbon atoms. As examples, a perfluoropropane-1,3-diyl-, perfluorobutane-1,4-diyl-, and perfluoropentarie-1,5-diyl group can be mentioned.

The above-mentioned "C3_8-cycloalkanediyl group" means, according to the invention, a double-bonded, mono- or bicyclic, carbocyclic group with 3 to 8 carbon atoms that optionally can be substituted with halogen atoms, hydroxy groups, and nitrile groups, such as, for example, with a cyclobutane-1,3-diyl-, cyclopentane-1,3-diyl- or a cyclohexane-1,4-diyl group.

The above-mentioned "arylene group" means, according to the invention, a double-bonded, aromatic mono- to tricyclic, carbocyclic group with 6 to 15 carbon atoms that optionally can be substituted with halogen atoms, hydroxy groups, nitrile groups, and alkyl groups, such as, for example, with an m-phenylene-, p-phenylene-, phenanthrylene- or a naphthalene group.

The heteroarylene radical includes, in each case, 5-16 ring atoms and contains, instead of carbon, one or more heteroatoms that are the same or different, such as oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur, in the ring. The heteroaryl radical can be mono-, bi- or tricyclic.

For example, there can be mentioned: thienyl, furanyl, pyrrolyl, oxazolyl, thiazolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, isoxazolyl, isothiazolyl, oxadiazolyl, triazolyl, thiadiazolyl, benzofuranyl, benzothienyl, benzothiazole, benzoxazolyl, benzimidazolyl, indazolyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, pyridyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, triazinyl, quinolyl, and isoquinolyl.

For the purpose of the invention, a heteroalkanediyl group is a double-bonded, straight-chain or branched, saturated or unsaturated heteroalkyl radical with, in each case, 1-6 carbon atoms and can contain, instead of carbon, one or more heteroatoms that are the same or different, such as oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur, such as, for example, a bis-ethylenoxy radical.
The "C14-arylalkanediyl group" is an aryl group that is bonded to a skeleton via a C1 C4-alkanediyl group, whereby the alkanediyl group can be straight-chain or branched. For example, benzyl or phenethylene can be mentioned.

"C1_4-Alkyl-C3_8-cycloalkanediyl group" is defined as methylcycloalkanediyl, ethyl-cycloalkanediyl, propylcycloalkanediyl, butylcycloalkanediyl, or pentylcycloalkanediyl. In this case, cycloalkanediyl can be cyclopropane-1,3-diyl, cyclobutane-1,4-diyl, cyclopentane-1,5-diyl, cyclohexane-1,6-diyl, cycloheptane-1,7-diyl or cyclooctane-1,8-diyl.

In the context of this invention, the term "halogen atom" is defined as a fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine atom, preferably a fluorine, chlorine, or bromine atom.

A pharmaceutical active ingredient that can form a sulfonate via an OH group means, for the purpose of the invention, the following:

Steroids: Estrogens, for example estradiol or estriol, or androgens, for example testosterone, MENT (7 a-methyl-19-nortestosterone), eF-MENT (11 -fluoro-7 a-methyl-l9-nortestosterone), nandrolone, DHT (dihydrotestosterone), or gestagens, for example norethisterone, dienogest or levonorgestrel, or corticoids, for example cortisol Anti-malaria agents: quinine, cinchonidine, hydroxychloroquine, primaquine, mefloquine;

Physicochemical Data Solubility in Water a) Kinetic Measurement:

The compounds according to the invention were measured as 10 mmol DMSO
solution in a 0.01 M phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.4 and 25 C with nephelometry and turbidity.

While in a turbid state, the solution to be tested was added drop by drop to the buffer solution until a precipitate settled.

The precipitate was detected in a dilution series (compounds in a phosphate buffer solution according to the invention) by nephelometry.

b.) Thermodynamic Measurement:

The compounds in solid form according to the invention were added to an excess of an aqueous buffer system of various pH values. It was stirred 24 hours at 25 C. After centrifuging, the solution was examined with HPLC (HPLC: column: Xterra MS C18 2.5 m, 30 x 4.6 mm). Two standard gradient systems were used based on the compounds to be measured:

Acidic gradient: A: water/0.01 % trifluoroacetic acid, B: acetonitrile/0. 0 1 %

Stability in Simulated Gastric Juice:

Solutions of the compounds according to the invention were incubated at 37 C
in simulated gastric juice (aqueous NaCI solution with pepsin, pH- 1.2).

The quantification took place through HPLC (HPLC-column: Xterra MS C18 2.5 m 4.6 x 30mm) using the gradient system:

A: water/0.01 % trifluoroacetic acid, B: acetonitrile/0.01 % trifluoroacetic acid - 0 min 5% B, 0-3 min 65% B, 3-5 min 65% B, 5-6 min 5% B.

The quantification took place after 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 hours.

During passage through the stomach, however, the stable prodrug remains almost complete.

The cleavage of the carboxylic acid ester thus takes place when passing through the intestine and in the liver.

No enzymes (esterases) are known for sulfonic acid ester. It was therefore surprising that the sulfonates are still cleaved, whereby a simple hydrolysis takes place. Although a slow hydrolysis already takes place in the gastric juice and when the pH = 7.4, the sulfonates have adequate stability to pass through the stomach and the intestine. An esterase cleavage does not take place in the intestine wall. The first-pass effect in the liver is avoided since the sulfonates are bonded with the sulfonamide group to the erythrocytes.

The compounds of general formula (I) according to the invention can, as a function of the meaning of "drug," be used for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of various clinical pictures. For example, the compounds of general formula (I) can be used if the "drug" is a steroid, such as androgen or estrogen, in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in women and men, or in the treatment of hormonally-induced diseases in men (prostrate cancer, breast cancer, hypogonadism) and in women (endometriosis, breast cancer). In addition, the compounds of general formula (I) according to the invention, in which "drug,"
for example, stands for an androgen or estrogen, can he used for birth control in men and women.

The use of additional active ingredients mentioned for "drug," such as quinine, cinchonidine, hydroxychloroquine, primaquine or mefloquine, relates to the treatment of malaria.

Compounds of general formula (I) according to the invention, in which "drug"
means a cortisol derivative, can be used for the treatment and prophylaxis of inflammatory and/or allergic diseases that are influenced by immunosuppressive agents and/or antiproliferative agents.

Prodrugs according to the invention, in which "drug" means a nucleoside (zidovudine, brivudine, indinavir, nelfinavir), can be used for the treatment of viral diseases (herpes, HIV).
In addition, subjects of the invention are the pharmaceutical compositions that contain the compounds of general formula (I) according to the invention and optionally additional active ingredients, for example gestagens (norethisterone, dienogest, drospirenone, levonorgestrel), antigestagens (mifepristone, onapristone) and/or progesterone receptor modulators (mesoprogestins, such as asoprisnil).

These pharmaceutical compositions and pharmaceutical agents are preferably administered orally. In addition to the usual vehicles and/or diluents, they contain at least one compound of general formula I.

Dosage The prodrugs according to the invention can be administered orally.
Generally, satisfactory results are to be expected both for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of the above-mentioned indications or for birth control if the dosage is carried out in such a way that after the administration of the prodrugs, an amount of the corresponding active ingredient ("drug") is released that corresponds to the highest pharmaceutically used maximum dose of the respective "drug" substance.

The pharmaceutical agents of the invention are produced in a known way with the usual solid or liquid vehicles or diluents and the commonly used pharmaceutical-technical adjuvants corresponding to the desired form of administration with a suitable dosage. The preferred preparations are in a dispensing form that is suitable for oral administration. Such dispensing forms are, for example, tablets, film tablets, coated tablets, capsules, pills, powders, solutions or suspensions or else depot forms.

Corresponding tablets can be obtained by, for example, mixing the active ingredient with known adjuvants, for example inert diluents such as dextrose, sugar, sorbitol, mannitol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, explosives such as corn starch or alginic acid, binding agents such as starch or gelatin, lubricants such as magnesium stearate or talc, and/or agents for achieving a depot effect, such as carboxylpolymethylene, carboxylmethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate phthalate or polyvinyl acetate. The tablets can also consist of several layers.

Coated tablets can accordingly be produced by coating cores, which are produced analogously to the tablets, with agents that are commonly used in tablet coatings, for example, polyvinylpyrrolidone or shellac, gum arabic, talc, titanium oxide or sugar. In this case, the shells for the coated tablets can also consist of several layers, whereby the adjuvants mentioned above with the tablets can be used.

Solutions or suspensions with the compounds of general formula I according to the invention can contain additional taste-improving agents such as saccharin, cyclamate or sugar, as well as, e.g., flavoring substances such as vanilla or orange extract. In addition, they can contain suspending adjuvants such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose or preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoate.

The capsules that contain compounds of general formula I can be produced by, for example, the compound(s) of general formula (I) being mixed with an inert vehicle such as lactose or sorbitol and encapsulated in gelatin capsules.

The prodrugs according to the invention can be synthesized according to the following examples, whereby the latter are used for a more detailed explanation without limiting the invention.

General Synthesis Instructions Variant 1 Reaction with Disulfonic Acid Chlorides A disulfonic acid chloride of general formula S02-X-SO2Cl is dissolved under a cover gas in a base, such as, e.g., pyridine. The corresponding amount of a drug substance is added to the solution. The reaction mixture is stirred until the reaction is completed. Then, the reaction mixture is stirred into a concentrated NH3 solution. The precipitate is filtered off, washed with water and dried.
